Residents ask for signage and safety measures as jetty construction proceeds
Summary
At the town hall, residents urged clear signage, enforcement, and better outreach; the Corps and contractor said active construction zones will be fenced, signage will be added and the city will enforce speed limits and ticket unsafe drivers.
Multiple residents asked how the Corps and city will keep people away from hazardous work zones and communicate closures.
"Please do not enter where it says do not enter," Corps staff said, explaining that orange fencing marks active construction zones and that heavy equipment poses a safety risk. Residents noted not everyone uses websites or apps, and urged more physical signage and in-person warnings to protect visitors and locals.
The Corps said contractors should have signage and that they will work with the city to add more signs. City Administrator Scott Anderson emphasized enforcement: "Since Kharidad Vasco has become our new police chief, we have literally tripled the number of tickets, that we've been writing," and said officers will ticket unsafe drivers along haul routes.
